We spent a week at Casa Maria Elena with our two teenage kids and our stay was incredible! The property is absolutely gorgeous inside and out - this is truly a paradise! While the space alone is amazing - Eric, Mirella, and Alma worked so hard to make our stay unforgettable! Eric picked us up at the airport and at our request stopped at the grocery store so we could get some provisions - he was super helpful assisting at the store with locating items and translating - if you prefer, Eric will stock the house with any items you request in advance of your arrival. Eric checked in every day to assist with our plans, reservations, and provide transportation to our various activities. All of his recommendations from dining to fishing to shopping were excellent. One day we asked about jet skiing and with a quick phone call he arranged to have two jet skis delivered to the beach behind the house - all we had to do was walk down to the sand and take off! Mirella and Alma were both so welcoming and wonderful as well! Mirella is an incredible cook and prepared the most amazing meals for us during our stay. It was so wonderful to wake up to a delicious breakfast each morning with fresh juice, fresh fruit, and the most delicious breakfast served by such charming women! The guys went fishing one day and caught a bunch of fish - brought back some Mahi that Mirella turned into the most delicious fish tacos you can ever imagine! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary while there and Eric, Mirella, and Alma surprised us with a special gift and anniversary cake - so thoughtful! We were all sad when our week was over - but plan to return to this amazing location - hoping Eric, Mirella and Alma will still be there!

Casa Maria Elena is an exceptional experience. For the moment you contact the owner and are introduced to the concierge/property manager - you realize how special this is by how wonderful your introduction is with the service. Stepping into the home is extraordinary. As beautiful as the Photographs are, they do not do the actual experience of the home as much justice. This place is unbelievable! And then, to top it all off, do you have Mirella And Alma to help you with unbelievable meals and the most spotless home I’ve ever encountered. My friends and I were overwhelmed. Every room has an ocean view and you truly cannot for wring. Do yourself a favor pay the extra and get Mirella to cook your dinners and much as possible. You will NOT regret it. Her cooking was better than any meal we had in a 5 star restaurant. We were sad to leave.! More than that, we look forward to making this a yearly trip for as long as the owners should have us. ...

What an incredible experience...the house, the setting, the wonderful staff. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. The house is perfectly appointed, so well laid out, and has the most amazing views from everywhere. We really didn’t want to go to town much, just wanted to stay and enjoy the property! Marella’s cooking is simply fabulous. Alma the house keeper is as sweet as can be and attentive. And the property manager, Eric took care of everything we needed starting with greeting us at the airport with a big welcome. Perfect vacation, perfect home! Thank you!!! We will be back.

I can not begin to express what a wonderful gem Casa Maria Elena is! We rented it to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday with 2 other couples and it was absolute perfection. The home does not feel like a typical rental house, rather its as if someone had invited you to stay in their personal home filled with beautiful art and furnishings.The house is amazing- 3 large master bedrooms, each with private bathrooms and spectacular views which open out to the beach. A lovely outdoor space with an infinity pool, outdoor shower, a pergola overlooking the ocean, and an outdoor table where we enjoyed all of our meals.The home is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean due to the efforts of 2 lovely ladies- Mirella and Alma who provide the cooking and housekeeping services daily. They were so friendly and helpful- Mirella even made chicken soup when one of the members of our party was feeling under the weather. The food was delicious, and fresh from the market each day- with plenty of options. Eric, the house manager was invaluable as well, stocking the home before we arrived, providing transportation from the airport, and checking in on a daily basis to make sure all of our needs were met. The owner of the property was very easy to work with, and very responsive to all of our questions both before and during our stay. This is truly a 5 star property and we cannot wait to return! Thank you for sharing this very special home!

We loved our experience at Casa Maria Elena! The property itself is maintained to the utmost perfection and is situated on the point overlooking the bay and a locals beach. We spent a week here and it was absolutely amazing. The highlight of the trip were Maria and Alma, who were there to help cook meals and take care of the property. They could not have been more kind, attentive and helpful. Maria's cooking is sooooo good! She sent me home with several of her recipes! Breakfast and lunch are included (you just have to pay for the ingredients) and dinner is available for a fee. We took advantage of this opportunity and were so glad we did. Not having to leave the house to go to a meal was a huge perk! Other highlights: the infinity pool and outdoor area, Eric (property manager) and his willingness to help us with food and activities and the proximity to the beach and restaurants. Would definitely return to this property!
